About Susan
She uses common-sense tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and replace it with workable habits. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for managing strong emotions and on emotionally-focused ideas for improving connection in relationships. Mindfulness and solution-focused methods are part of her toolbox when brief, focused change is needed.
Dr. Sult encourages a collaborative approach. She explains techniques, talks through how they apply to daily life, and adjusts strategies based on what actually helps. Sessions aim to teach skills that clients can use between meetings so progress can continue outside the office.
Her background includes long experience with trauma, addiction, sleep and eating problems, attention difficulties, and chronic medical issues that affect mood and function. She also addresses intimacy-related concerns, sexual diversity topics such as BDSM and kink, and aging and caregiving stress.
She is licensed as a FL Psychologist PY3854. People who choose to work with her should expect straightforward explanations, practical exercises, and a focus on real-life changes tailored to their goals.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Dr. Sult commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce symptoms. CBT is practical and often focuses on short-term steps to manage anxiety, anger, and mood problems.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal interactions. These skills are useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when communication repeatedly breaks down.
Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will ask about goals, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust based on what works for the person. Clients help decide which techniques to keep using and which to change during the work.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking since session options are set by the therapist. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills in everyday settings and bring real-world examples into the conversation. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT skills for remote work to focus on problem-solving, emotion control, and relationship changes.
